Stones stand less than 3m apart and seems to be aligned in SE/NW axis. Taller stone is huge monolith up to 2,3m high. Smaller one closer to the exit has 170cm high.
Taking into account this unusual and truly spiritual location Saval More stones have remarkable atmosphere. I really did enjoy the visit!
